Posting™ here has definitely been slower, and I miss y'all. I've been overwhelmed lately, not only in the bad way because of the world and gestures at everything but also in the good way.
Magica Riot kinda blew up bigger than I expected it to. To be clear, I was keeping my expectations hell of low since I'm an unknown to most people, but even so: the book blew through my first-several-months sales hopes in a week and I've now found myself chatting with real-ass authors in my mutuals elsewhere so like I don't fucking know what's going on, life is surreal and this all seems incredibly fake.
(Note: I ain't talking NYT Bestseller numbers here to be clear, this is still an indie-published novel about a trans magical girl, but like I had expectations and the book kinda annihilated them.)
It's meant I've had to re-calculate my priorities somewhat, not only because I am now promoting Magica Riot much more broadly than I expected but also because this means I am moving up writing the sequel much sooner than I figured I would.
At some point things will settle down into a new routine but until then it's chaos and madness and I appreciate y'all for hanging out with me while I figure out what my freaking life even is now.
